No. 35% window tint is illegal in Belgium. The Royal Decree of 1 December 1975 mandates a minimum 70% light transmittance for front side windows and 75% for rear side and rear windows. Non-compliance risks fines up to €137.50 and mandatory removal.
Key Regulations for 35% Window Tint in Belgium
- Front side windows: Must allow ≥70% light transmittance; 35% tint violates this.
- Rear side/rear windows: Must allow ≥75% light transmittance; 35% tint is non-compliant.
- Medical exemptions: Rarely granted by the Service Public Fédéral Mobilité et Transports; requires prior approval.
Enforcement is strict, particularly in Flanders and Wallonia, where local police conduct random checks. From 2026, digital vehicle inspection systems will flag non-compliant tints during technical controls. Aftermarket tints must meet EU standards (ECE Regulation 43) and bear certification marks. Vehicles imported with factory-installed 35% tint may face import restrictions unless pre-approved.
